An electric fence will not electrocute anything. It shocks, it doesn't
electrocute.

I've heard of some very bad experiences with hotwires... ;-)
Deer are SO stupid!

I s'pose two very low to the ground hotwires might be safe, but
sometimes the sting of a hotwire at a higher level seem to panic a deer
and they get all tangled up in it and run off with your entire fence!

A big fence is the only way. If you want to try pepper you can get
ground
dried Habanero peppers from http://www.redsavina.com/ . I would be
concerned that the pepper would carry over to the vegetable themselves.
I
have tried most everything and have yet to find anything that will
always
work except the fence. Take that back, I haven't tried the motion
detector
water sprinklers nor the electric fence. Good luck.

I want to start a vegetable garden but I live in deer country near
Dripping Springs. I read in the archives that homemade pepper sprays
work well to repel deer. I also know they don't like rosemary and
other fragrant shrubs. Any opinions on how well it would work to
hedge
the entire garden with rosemary and other large shrubs?

thanks,
